MakeMeFweaky Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 this is the first demo, meant to be a collab with her and The Chainsmokers here is the original DJ Mustard demo for the song Thoughts? I actually really like the Chainsmokers version 7 Link to comment

It's more like she used their instrumental to record the demo. At least that's what I understood. It sounds great. And she as well as Britney did great job on vocals. Mix between her and Britney sounds amazing. I need her to work 4 B as background vocalist. Back in the day she said in an interview that they did write the song thinking of it as a collaboration between The chainsmokers and Britney. Today Jon confirmed they sent it to The chainsmokers, but they passed, so ultimately it was recorded only by Britney (thank God) 4 Link to comment
Popular Post colormefresh Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 I’m still confused as to why we got Make Me instead of Mood Ring. RCA is.... special. 13 5 Link to comment

rodrigobjs Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Omg I love this other version, something more urban like usher 1 Link to comment
Kai Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I like her vocal here instead of the one we got, less filtered. But I prefer the album's vibe overall. And thank god not another collaboration with whoever is trending then. 1 2 Link to comment

Little did they know that it was a spiritual sucessor to the original Also according to Melanie, the instrumental of the original demo was later reworked onto Waterbed 3 2 Link to comment
PlayboyMommy Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 By the way Britney Online ripped and will upload the demos that Melanie played on Instagram later today Stay tuned 3 Link to comment
bitbitboi Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Oh wow I love both previous versions...! I think the DJ Mustard one more than the Chainsmokers one. This goes to show that when a song (lyrics and melody) is good, whatever music style you choose will work with it in some way or another. Now I wonder what was recorded or released first, "Mood Ring" or "Needed Me"? I'd love to know which song's sound inspired the other. 2 Link to comment

She had talked about it back in 2016 though, without too much detail, but she did say they created it thinking of it as a collaboration between the two Quote "Mood Ring" was originally meant to be "Mood Swings." "I wrote the song with my friend Jon [Asher], who is an amazing songwriter and one of my really good friends. I had an idea: I wanted to write a song called "Mood Swings." We started with some melodies and nothing really hit us. So we went down, started to hang out in his kitchen, had something to eat, and he was like 'Mood swings, mood swings...what about mood ring?" And I was like "Oh my God, 'Mood Ring'!" And that's kind of how it happened: basically joking around while we were having a snack in the kitchen. He came up with the title. We were thinking about it, in our minds, as The Chainsmokers featuring Britney Spears. So that was the concept and sound." https://popcrush.com/britney-spears-mood-ring-melanie-fontana-songwriter-interview-exclusive/ 1 Link to comment
Popular Post sibode Posted May 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 29, 2020 I HONESTLY think the one we got is the best version... The 1st one it's kinda a mess and something we've all already heard, the 2nd it's so cold... too much clubbish. The one we got is unusual and deep and it really goes inside of your body. It's more intimate. 9 3 Link to comment
Adan695 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Can I reach and hope for a remix EP with these versions next plz 🙋🏻♀️ 2 Link to comment
colormefresh Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 None of them will answer the Rihanna question. Lol, it sounds good on all beats but why are they so scared of DJ Mustard. Conspiracies form under these circumstances lmao. Link to comment
